SCARCE VINTAGE ITEM!!This is USGS Bulletin 922-P,
Chromite Deposits in the Sourdough Area, Curry County, and the Briggs Creek Area, Josephine County, Oregon
. Published in 1940, this is a rare one! This publication consists of the 36-page book and BOTH OF THE ORIGINAL COLOR MAPS, which are in a pocket in the back of the book. All are in excellent condition. Several deposits are discussed in the book, including:
Old Diggings claim
Come and Get It claim
Black Cub #1 and #2 claims
And numerous others
I noticed that one of the minerals occurring in the deposits is uvarovite, that stunningly green garnet that is so pretty. If lived closer I’d give the area a shot just for a chance to find some. This publication makes not only a great guide for the collector wanting to visit these areas, but also a unique historical record of the mining in these areas. This is a rare opportunity for the collector of Oregon minerals, the historian, or anyone that wants to give the area a crack!
Expert packing assured. The recent increase in postage rates was pretty big. As a result, Media Mail is now my default shipping method to keep shipping affordable.
